Dubai Forums

I'm moving into my new apartment this afternoon, which is just a few streets down from my old one.

I basically need to move a mattress and a sofa, the rest is all transportable by car. Anyone know a good moving company that won't charge me an arm and a leg for this?

Thanks.

Thanks, I have a friend who just told me she might be able to arrange a similar sort of transportation. If that fails I will call your contact!

Yup, when I came to Dubai I just threw my Canadian passport at my job interviewer which made him bow down and offer me a position as Vice President of the company. I angrily replied that, as a Canadian, I would accept nothing less than a job as CEO, to which he promptly apologized for his rudeness a...

Well, I wasn't talking about bus drivers in the first place. But since you absolutely refuse to believe that 3rd world countries can have better education than the West without trying it all out like I have, there's no point continuing with this argument. That's a pretty bold claim, which would hav...

Yep, if you discount the 44 million tourists NYC gets per year, absolutely no one goes there.

SHE'S A HUMAN!!!

Britney Spears was crucified by the press after her abysmal performance at this year's MTV music awards, apparently this guy didn't take it too well. Hilarity ensues.

Don't but anything PC related from Sharraf or any big electronics store. You can find the same product for 200 or 300 less at the computer plaza in BurDubai. All you need are good negotiating skills

Notice that most of them are either members of big families or just hideously rich connections are the only thing that can get you to the top in the middle east just like using cheats to win a game. x2 It's like playing Doom 3 in god mode then bragging about how you finished the game on "hard&...

lol muslims dont fast and its ok lol WHO said its OK. if u r a muslim U should FAST. i dont wanna sound like an extremist or something but if u r not a muslim you can still fast. Fast and see how it feels like to have no or little amount of food in your tummy. Think about those kids in africa who d...

Exactly, since it is your own connection with god, it helps to avoid bragging about how righteous you are to strangers on the internet. You want to fast? that's great, but don't go around putting down people who don't. The post I replied to earlier was suggesting that non-muslims should also fast in...

It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told.

you sick son of.. u r worried about those friends..they may have HIV AIDS u didnt think about that ..all u ppl think is how to get paid and then laid ..how about u see ur sister working in such places ..moron :evil: Woah, take a chill pill Ali Baba, if you're so worried about catching HIV AIDS (as ...

Fasting technically commences within the first twelve to twenty-four hours of the fast. A fast does not chemically begin until the carbohydrate stores in the body begin to be used as an energy source. What are you talking about? Carbs are the primary source of energy for the body, by your logic I'v...

Install a proxy server on your home PC (Proxyplus for Windows or Squid for Linux), assign it a dynamic dns (dyndns.org) and configure your browser to use your home PC as a proxy with the appropriate port.

It is achievable yes. Download proxyplus at home, install it, run it on port 443 (your admin won't be blocking that outgoing port). Then register on dyndns.org, this will give you a url that points to your home PC, you can even get your router to sync with it. Speaking of routers, don't forget to po...

You actually seen that work? (what louzy IT Administrators would allow a crappy ssl tunneling trick like that to work) Given that "administrators" usually have no more than an MCSA/E or CCNA certification (which ranks somewhere between tying your shoe laces and not choking to death on you...

Med.. I couldn't do it...did what u said but yesterday night when I tried to do the port 443 thing on my pc...I guess I didn't know what I was doing..kept going back to port 80. And do I put that where it says LAN settings? What abt the address in front of it? I suggest you get a friend who knows a...

I'm Canadian and have done 4 consecutive visa runs since November last year. It doesn't seem like they're enforcing that rule.

Well I have an e-card so I don't talk to immigration when coming in. You can get one easily if you have a British passport, just go to DNATA and pay 200 Dhs and you're done, plus no more waiting in line for 20+ minutes!

ooooh what is an e-card???????????????? i should defo get one. So does that mean that your passport does not get stamped, does that not cause problems when you go to immigration after your 60 days to get it extended another 30 days Sorry for all the questions :oops: You can find most answers here h...

No, you don't need residency, I did mine using my Canadian passport, I think a British one works as well. The website might be outdated.

Wow, I wonder how many gullible idiots will actually fall for this bullsh*t. I'm going to write a letter to Hershey's to tell them to stop their with their viral marketing campaigns and make better chocolates. I'm off to buy some Mars bars.

I live in the freezone, no problems to report whatsoever with the site. Although I did hear one of the guys on the rdio whining about how facebook was blocked for him.

God help us if the philippino guy doesn't win, because it will be followed by the most unprecedented amount of whining the world has ever seen. "the IBF is trying to be funny even if it means stooping so low to offhandedly rig a fight. I believe this is racial prejudice against Filipino boxers....

Blimey, I can sense another blow-up! No comment! :lol: But in all honesty Med, since you have made the remark, Filipinos - generally speaking - are not regarded as 'whingers'. In fact, it's quite the opposite - the accepted stereotype is their ability to look on the bright side of life and laugh in...

Apparently the launch date has been set to October 10. I hope there will be another bundle than bluray Spiderman 3. I'm still waiting for the rumble controllers to come out in November.
